Romantic Theory - NOVELS Lyrics

I'm trying not to make a scene
But I look for you in everything
In every person in the crowd
Not brave enough to seek you out

I feel your presence in the room
But I know that I can't talk to you
I feel you, just as tense as me
I just hope I see you in my sleep

I parked in front of your van
A coincidence I wish I'd planned
So I tried to act like I was keeping my cool
But you know that I'm a f*cking fool for you

I saw you on the side of the stage
And I turned myself back to that page
Of words I wish I'd said to you
A glimpse of your face left me unglued

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I swore I'd write you novels
But I just wrote silly songs
Sometimes I wish you'd cause more problems
So I'd have a reason to move on
I don't understand what the future holds
But you're my favorite part of the past
I always love every word about you
Even if it doesn't love me back

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I saw how much you came to life
When I came closer in the crowd
Pretending like I didn't care
But you know that I did, cause you were there

I wanna reach out in some way
And tell you "You did good today"
I know that you saw me singing your song
But we have to pretend we're moving on

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
